How to Upload Videos on YouTube That Are Longer Than 10 Minutes



1. Open a Google AdSense account, which can speed up the Partnership application process. According to YouTube, users who already have an AdSense account can expect a decision on their application within 24 hours. Others might have to wait up to three days.

2. Apply for Partnership by submitting the online application on the YouTube Partners website. The form will ask for biographical information, as well as information about your content. Keep in mind that all posted content must be original. Users also must own the global rights to all music videos.

3. If admitted into the Partner program, you will be able to upload videos longer than 10 minutes.

4. Click 'Upload,' found at the top of any YouTube page. Click 'Browse' to pull up the video and describe it (title, description, tags and category). Click 'Save' to complete the upload.

How to Earn Money With My PayPal Account



1. Log in to your PayPal account.

2. Click 'Money Market' near the bottom of the screen on your 'My Account Page.'

3. Click 'Enroll Now' to enroll your PayPal account in the money market program that sweeps the balance of your account into a money market fund on a daily basis. This means your money will always be accessible like it is now, plus you will earn money on every dollar in your account every day.

4. Next, click 'Referrals' at the bottom of the 'My Account' page. (It is near where you clicked on 'Money Market.') You will get two kinds of codes. One is a link that you can add to any email or other format you chose. The second is code that can be placed on a website. Both will pay you $1,000 anytime someone signs up for a PayPal Merchant account after clicking on your link.

How to Earn Money Through Google's AdSense Program



1. Apply for the AdSense Program. Visit www.google.com/adsense to fill out the online application form. Answer the questions completely and accurately. You will need either a blog or a website where you can put ads on.

2. Wait for the response e-mail. Probably the most anxious you'll be during this process no doubt.

3. You'll receive a response letting you know if the application was approved or denied. If you have tried AdSense previously and canceled your account, you CAN reapply for a new one, you'll just have to use a different e-mail address in the application. If you have tried it and were canceled by Google, you are not eligible to participate in the program anymore.

4. Once your application is approved and you receive an e-mail confirmation, click the link inside the e-mail to go to your account. There you can create ads to put into your website. The instructions are easy to follow and simple to do.

5. Try experimenting with different ad styles. The more creative you are, the more the monetary possibilities exist. The nice thing about the program is you can track which ads are your main sources of revenue.

6. Another way to earn money through AdSense is by using a third party, such as this site, eHow. I've mentioned this before in my internet business article. With using a third party site, they have applied to the AdSense program and give you a cut of ad revenue generated from your pages.

Google and Advertising



History of Google Advertising

Google entered the advertising business in 2000 with its AdWords product. It then followed up in 2003 with a beta version of its AdSense application. In 2007, Google acquired DoubleClick, which was a business that sold tools for targeted advertising, such as tracking cookies, to advertising agencies and business clients.

AdWords

AdWords is Google's primary advertising product, marketed to businesses both large and small. Upon creating an AdWords account, businesses can create an ad campaign with a short advertisement, a website and a set of keywords. When a user makes a Google search and enters the keywords the business is associated with, that business is displayed as a 'Sponsored Link' on the top and right of the actual search results. The link then leads to the business's website. Google charges for this service on a pay-per-click basis, with a payment plan that contains a strict budget limit.

AdSense

AdSense is an ad-serving program, which is marketed to website owners that are trying to earn revenue through hosting advertisements on their site. These ads may be text-based, or they can include images and videos. To use the program, a website designer inserts a string of JavaScript code onto the client's website. This code accesses Google's servers and retrieves AdWords advertising to display on the site. If using contextual advertising, Google accesses its cache of the website to determine which ads to deliver. In addition, the program favors high-paying advertisers by placing their content more prominently on the website, which results in more profit for the host.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Google Advertising

For website owners, AdSense offers many advantages over other forms of advertising. Before Google, most Web advertising was done through banner ads and pop-ups. These were found to be irritating to users, and many contained irrelevant, overly generic or deceptive offers. With AdSense's contextual advertising, most advertisements are tuned to the content of the website, increasing the odds of an ad's relevancy to visitors. However, AdSense is still imperfect. Although Google does police some content and removes certain keywords it considers inappropriate, it cannot guarantee that all of its AdWords partners are legitimate. As a result, users may consider the results less legitimate than ads sold directly by respected companies.

How to Make Images Appear on Websites Via Dreamweaver 8



1. Select an appropriate image. Website images must be saved in a format web browsers understand. Popular formats include JPEG, GIF and PNG. Images must also be small enough to fit on most screens. Generally speaking, the image should be no wider than 800 pixels.

2. Place your selected image in the same folder as your webpage. Keeping your images and webpages in the same place makes keeping track of them easier. It also makes uploading website files to your server simpler.

3. Open your webpage in Dreamweaver 8. Click 'File' in the menu at the top of your screen, then select 'Open.' Find the webpage where you want to insert the image, then double-click its icon to open it.

4. Insert your image. Click your mouse on the line or in the table cell where you want your image to appear. Click 'Insert' in the menu at the top of your screen, then select 'Image.' Find the image file you want to insert, then double-click its icon to insert it.

5. Add alt text to the image. Alt text labels describe webpage images. If a visitor views your page in a web browser that cannot show images, or if an image file is missing, alt text provides information about the content of the image. Add alt text to the image you just placed by clicking it and entering a brief description in the field labeled 'Alt,' found in the 'Properties' toolbar. Finally, save all of your changes by clicking 'File,' then selecting 'Save.'

6. View your updated webpage. Open the webpage you just updated in your browser. The image you added in Step 4 appears on the screen. Place your mouse over the image, and the alt text created in Step 5 appears as well.

Google Advertising Guidelines



AdWords Creative Guidelines

Advertising must use proper grammar and spelling, although commonly misspelled words like 'lite,' and 'tonite' are allowed. Ads cannot make claims regarding competitors, unless these claims are substantiated in the landing page linked from the ad. Comparative and subjective phrases using words like 'best' or '#1' are seldom allowed unless you have third-party verification that your service or product is better than all others. Claims of affiliation with Google are also not allowed in an ad.

Content Guidelines

Both AdWords and AdSense have an extensive list of topics that are not allowed in ads, pages containing ads, including links to other pages or websites with such content. A few examples of inappropriate content include gambling, adult sexual services, tobacco products, alcohol, drugs and drug paraphernalia, the promotion of violence, racial intolerance and illegal activity. Violation of content policies can result in rejection of ads, domains disabled from the advertising programs, account suspension and a lifetime ban for any of your domains from Google's advertising programs.

AdWords Site Guidelines

The displayed web address in an ad must be consistent with the link. Google rates landing pages (the page visitors go to when clicking on an ad) for quality. Landing pages should have original content that is relevant to the ad, be transparent in its purpose, and easily navigable. Landing pages must not use pop-ups that hinder navigation away from the page. Self-closing pop-up pages, pop-under pages, fake system warnings, or timed pop-ups are also prohibited. Visitors must also be able to navigate from the landing page by clicking the browser 'back' button with one click. Pages containing malware are also prohibited.

AdSense Site Guidelines

Web pages using Google AdSense must not encourage visitors to click on ads. This includes offering special incentives to visitors or using deceptive methods to get clicks like using arrows pointing to ads. Webpages cannot contain content protected by copyright unless the publisher has the legal right to do so. Publishers cannot use paid-to-click programs for their websites, or use spam emails to get traffic to their sites. AdSense code cannot be altered. Ads cannot be placed in inappropriate places like pop-ups. Publishers must also provide privacy and disclosure information to visitors regarding the use of advertising cookies placed in visitors' browsers.
